I have a 00 civic Ex coupe w/a 1.5, 1.2 drop. Well my front tires are being completely worn out in the inside, I have 205,40/17. i was told to get a camber kit when I got my car aligned because It could not be ajusted correctly, but they did their best. So now Im looking on getting a camber kit so I can fix the problem and save money on tires in the long run, and I aslo want my car to run correctly. I already have the rear ones but Im looking for the front ones can anyone give me some direction on what to get? and will this end the problem. I dont care about brand name boasting, all I want is performance and durability at the most affordable price so my car can run smoothly.

 

Any one has any input???

 

I have Hardrace camber kits installed on my car and no complaints!

 

If you do not lower your car past 1.5 inch you should not even be thinking about the camber kit because yo do not need one. I guess some big shop mechanics insisted you on getting the camber kit. all you need to do is set your toe to zero. No need for camber kit. Check out some older posts you will see what I mean.

 

Get an alignment.

 

Thnx for the input...I have already got the car alinged..I dont remember the actual degrees but I know it was a neg, I will post them..another thing, I'm not familiar with the camber toe set back to zero, not sure what it means and if the aligment shop is suposed to know what it means...I'm sort of a newbe to all this.. so I not gonna front like I know what it means or what inpact it has on the car alignment and performance...but Im willing to learn and lisen...

 

I was told when I first dropped the car that I wasnt going to need a camber, but imiately after a few months my tires started to wear out in the inside...and after three years of going through tires like crazy I started to do some reaserch and this is where Im at...

 

get a camber kit. and alignment won't help.

 

You did 3 years of research and still haven't figured out that your problem is toe, not camber?

It's repeated at least 3 times a week in this forum - Go to a shop that knows what they are doing, and set toe as close to zero as possible. Camber is not what is wearing out your tires, so a camber kit will be a waste of money. Your car has toe adjustments from the factory, so the only money you need to spend is on the alignment service itself.

I dropped the lude 2", bought a Caster/Camber kit for 80$ shipped and everything. Problem solved. FYI steer clear of any and all bumps... you will understand if you dont already
